As The Ba**ds of Bollywood releases on Netflix today, the lead actor Lakshya recalls the biggest lesson he got from the debutant director, Aryan Khan. Born to superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Aryan believes in breaking the rules, not following a template and having fun in order to make anything the best. Recalling the same, The Ba**ds of Bollywood lead actor Lakshya revealed how the teachings come from Aryan's father Shah Rukh Khan, who is Bollywood's biggest self-made superstar to exist.
While talking to ETimes, Lakshya said, "There was a shot where I had to run, and he suggested that I run in a particular way. Once I saw the scene, I realised how valuable his input was. Yeh unki schooling hai, Shah Rukh Khan sir ke bete hai woh. I learned how to take risks, not follow the template, break the rules and just have fun, from him."

Lakshya revealed that Aryan has a funny bone that helps you open up as an actor. "He gives you freedom aur aap khul jaate ho as an actor. When you grow up in Shah Rukh Khan’s household, you have a certain attitude and style. He has a great personality. We used to think he is stern and stoic and very quiet. But he is very naughty. We used to play video games, watch movies, have burgers and bond like how regular guys bond," Lakshya revealed about bonding with Aryan through their project, The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
